Chapter 2
The Remains.
Ichigo's black Mercedes pulled up in front of the crime scene. He and Rukia exited the vehicle and made their way to the victims remands. Standing over the body was a man. He was about nineteen and had black hair and green eyes. He had a very pale face, his skin was almost white and, was that green mascara running down his eyes?.
"Ulquiorra!" Ichigo called as the young man turned around.
"Who is he?" Rukia asked Ichigo, barely audible, just enough for Ichigo to hear.
"Ulquiorra Cifer. He mainly works with the bugs, dirt, chemicals etcetera."
"Is he an emo?" Rukia suddenly asked.
Ichigo let out a small chuckle. "No. he moved here from Ireland, so his skin is naturally pale. He always sulk though and no one knows why."
"But that is mascara under his eyes isn't it."
"No. Last year the whole team went to Las Vegas as a treat for catching a serial killer. Ulquiorra had one to many to drink and got a tattoo. When he sobered up he liked the tattoo and kept it."
Rukia thought this over as she and Ichigo walked the short distance to the body.
"Mr. Kurosaki." Ulquiorra said as they approached.
"Cifer any news?" Ichigo asked as he cam to a stop in front of him.
"Vic's name is Orihime Inoue. Thirty-three year old female. American, and she is a nurse."
Rukia bent down beside the body as Uliquorra continued. "Can't put an exact time of death but by the amount of flesh that has decomposed I say about four to five weeks. I found gun-powder residue on her jacket but no bullet. Not yet sure about cause of death."
"She fell." Rukia suddenly said.
"What?" Ichigo asked.
"C.O.D." Rukia answered looking over her shoulder. "She fell." she turned back to the remains. "The fourth and fifth rib on the right are broken," she said pointing at the ribs to prove her point "and the spine is snapped in half which would probably be from the push. We're looking for, I say, a fifteen foot drop. That would be the approximant high for the amount of pressure it would take to snap the spine completely in half."
"How do you know she was pushed?" Ichigo inquired.
"See the fingers," she said lifting them up. "I'm not very good with flesh but I say these tears were caused by the vic trying to grab something to stop herself from falling. I beat if you take a closer look at the cuts you'll more than likely find some dirt or stone. But unfortunately for her, her falanges have been crushed with would mean someone more than likely stomped on her hand as she gripped the edge of the place of death."
"Then why is she here?"
"Moved, most likely so hikers wound not find the body."
"Fine, I'll get my men to find the place she fell from…"
"Pushed." Rukia interrupted.
"I'll get my men to find the place she was Pushed from then and Uliquorra you and Hanataro bring the body in for an autopsy."
Uliquorra nodded and went to get the new trainee.
"Now that that's done how 'bout you and me go grab some coffee?" Ichigo asked as he turned to Rukia with a sexy grin playing on his face.
Rukia frowned and said "Your belt describes you attitude Mr. Kurosaki."
There was a few moments of silence between them until Rukia spoke "Fine than I really do need a pick-me-upy." As they both walked back to Ichigo's Mercedes.
